1965 Mercedes SL230 replacement ignition cylinder key

[HowardK]

Howdy Folks,

Another locksmith over here has as customer with a 1965 Mercedes SL230, and would like a spare key made,

I believe this key goes to a replacement ignition cylinder assembly and that is why he cannot find a blank listed in the catalogs so far,

Here are photos of said key,

Any help with identification, Silca or other number,  part number, and or source if available would be greatly appreciated,

Thank You In Advance

Think i'd try a Silca MS 17 padlock blank

Silca ne8?

Thank You All,

I will relay the information

All your help is Greatly Appreciated
